Maytown residents voice opposition
to proposed housing development
Strong opposition to a
developer’s plans for north-
ern Maytown was voiced at
a hearing in the East
Donegal Municipal Building
last Monday. At least fifty
citizens attended the some-
times stormy meeting.
At issue was a plan to
build several hundred hous-
ing units in the area
between Maytown and the
local airport—units which
some think will be largely
filled, at federal government
expense, with poor people.
At the .meeting, the
developer denied that the
planned apartments would
attract welfare recipients
and other desperately poor
people, but rather, people of
only moderately low income.
A plan approved in 1973
allows the eventual con-
struction of over S500
dwelling units on and
around the former Endslow
farm. The plan was broken
into ten ‘‘phases,’’ and each
phase of construction was to
have been reviewed before

Mount Joy Council
approves 1981 budget
At its December meeting
this past Monday night
Mount Joy Borough Council
approved a budget of
$547,000 for its general
fund, $42,500 for Revenue
Sharing, and $37,830 for
Liquid Fuels funding for its
1981 budget. The budget for
the General Fund was
$23,000 more than proposed
last month, because it was
discovered that the propos-
ed budget had not included
some available income. The
additional $23,000 income
was allocated, $20,000 to
capital improvement and
$3000 to improving street
lighting.
The new budget includes
no increases in taxes.
A request to re-zone the
area around Grandview
School from R2 to R3 zoning
for a proposed garden
apartment development was
denied. Residents of the
area were concerned about
increased traffic hazards for
children. Council pointed
out that other areas in the
borough are available for R3
development and that the
area around Grandview
School is characterized by
less dense housing than was
